Abstract

Wireless communications are described for controlling a transmission. A base station may cancel, delay, and/or request a retransmission of a message. The base station may send a control message to control a transmission in a communication network. A wireless device may cancel a transmission (e.g., based on a pre-emption indication), determine a transmission power for a transmission (e.g., based on a power control message), and/or determine a retransmission of a message (e.g., based on a repetition indication).

Claims (80)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters indicating a configured grant for uplink transmission;

receiving downlink control information indicating that an uplink radio resource, for a first transmission occasion of consecutive transmission occasions of a transport block, is pre-empted; and

transmitting, via a second transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions and based on the uplink radio resource not overlapping with the second transmission occasion, a redundancy version (RV), associated with the second transmission occasion, for the transport block.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate:

the first transmission occasion associated with a different RV for the transport block; and

the second transmission occasion associated with the RV for the transport block.

a starting symbol for transmission using the configured grant;

a transmission length indicating a quantity of symbols for transmission using the configured grant; and

a quantity of resource blocks for transmission using the configured grant.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving one or more radio resource control messages comprising configuration parameters indicating associations between one or more pre-emption indicators and one or more uplink radio resources,

wherein the one or more uplink radio resources comprise the uplink radio resource, and

wherein based on the associations, each of the one or more pre-emption indicators, corresponding to one of the one or more uplink radio resources, indicates whether the one of the one or more uplink radio resources is pre-empted.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RV associated with the second transmission occasion is associated with an RV value of a RV sequence.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate an RV sequence associated with the configured grant.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, based on an RV sequence associated with the configured grant and for each transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions, an RV for the transport block.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

before the transmitting, cancelling, based on the uplink radio resource overlapping with the first transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions, a transmission of a different RV for the transport block scheduled for transmission via the first transmission occasion.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving second downlink control information indicating that a second uplink radio resource is pre-empted; and

transmitting, based on whether the second uplink radio resource overlaps with a third transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions or a fourth transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions, one of:

a third redundancy version (RV) for the transport block via the third transmission occasion, or

a fourth RV for the transport block via the fourth transmission occasion.

10. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters indicating a configured grant for uplink transmission;

receive downlink control information indicating that an uplink radio resource, for a first transmission occasion of consecutive transmission occasions of a transport block, is pre-empted; and

transmit, via a second transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions and based on the uplink radio resource not overlapping with the second transmission occasion, a redundancy version (RV), associated with the second transmission occasion, for the transport block.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate:

the first transmission occasion associated with a different RV for the transport block; and

the second transmission occasion associated with the RV for the transport block.

12. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the first transmission occasion is associated with:

a starting symbol for transmission using the configured grant;

a transmission length indicating a quantity of symbols for transmission using the configured grant; and

a quantity of resource blocks for transmission using the configured grant.

13. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more radio resource control messages comprising configuration parameters indicating associations between one or more pre-emption indicators and one or more uplink radio resources,

wherein the one or more uplink radio resources comprise the uplink radio resource, and

wherein based on the associations, each of the one or more pre-emption indicators, corresponding to one of the one or more uplink radio resources, indicates whether the one of the one or more uplink radio resources is pre-empted.

14. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the RV associated with the second transmission occasion is associated with an RV value of a RV sequence.

15. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate an RV sequence associated with the configured grant.

16. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

determine, based on an RV sequence associated with the configured grant and for each transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions, an RV for the transport block.

17. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

before a transmission of the RV, associated with the second transmission occasion, for the transport block, cancel, based on the uplink radio resource overlapping with the first transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions, a transmission of a different RV for the transport block scheduled for transmission via the first transmission occasion.

18. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive second downlink control information indicating that a second uplink radio resource is pre-empted; and

transmit, based on whether the second uplink radio resource overlaps with a third transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions or a fourth transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions, one of:

a third redundancy version (RV) for the transport block via the third transmission occasion, or

a fourth RV for the transport block via the fourth transmission occasion.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters indicating a configured grant for uplink transmission;

receive downlink control information indicating that an uplink radio resource, for a first transmission occasion of consecutive transmission occasions of a transport block, is pre-empted; and

transmit, via a second transmission occasion of the consecutive transmission occasions and based on the uplink radio resource not overlapping with the second transmission occasion, a redundancy version (RV), associated with the second transmission occasion, for the transport block.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate:
